This looks really rough, but apparantly there is a boot.img, then other cracking tools can be used.
I'd love to try it, but... well... my chinese is limited to google-translate.
The URL won't post so this is a big hint:

I think I got it root on g302d u8812d

Currently on that URL is a approx 14 MB rar file download, I _think_ I just got it sorted!
I don't have time now to make this pretty, but some others who want to hack. add links, etc feel free to work with this...
in fact I dont know if all these steps are required.
General Broad steps (ymmv, you are doing this to your own dang phone, dont blame me for bricks viruses or earthquakes etc, etc/ etc).
on your computer, uninstall adb, pdanet and any other tools that use the adb drivers and dlls, reboot as needed.
install the mt6575 drivers (I forgot whether I downloaded these or if they were part of the 14 meg file) reboot as needed
power down phone.
remove battery from phone, don't plug into computer.
launch flash_tool.exe
load the included scatterloading file MT6575...emmc.txt
press the download button
plug in phone to usb
put battery in phone
watch the blinkinlights for a few seconds, wait for the big green O
then I disconnect phone and ensure power down.
install SDK
power up phone and plug in
test adb (adb shell)
kill adb server
download and install superoneclick
download extra superoneclick exploits
launch superoneclick
click the big root button.
Test (you can use something like rom manager)
Now people should be able to try to install various CWMs.
I haven't gotten that far yet.

CWM for u8812d g302d ?

Okay I may have found a working CWM clockworkmod recovery, but I don't have access to the chinese site, so others out there may be able to download it and try it out.

installed gapps 20110828 (via mobileuncle recovery) and I now have a market that doesn't force-close!
still getting "partners" to force close, but a lot of other stuff is working.

Great work!!! I'll try this on my phone or wait until is working?
Are the recovery and rom in chinese?
Thank a lot for testing.

working well

It is working very well.
No need for you or anyone to wait.
Just please know what you are doing (do you have basic understanding of recovery mode, roms, factory mode, and the dangers) in other words, if this is your first time doing this on a phone.. ask someone who knows what they are doing for help because I am not able to put together a documented procedure, but the findings above should allow someone else to do that. Additionally, I have no idea of the legality or safety of the software at URLs above.
conceptually this is 4 steps
1) flash boot.img that will allow cracking
2) crack to get SU installed
3) install Mobile Uncle Recovery mode and app
4) install gapps.
The MobileUncle recovery mode is Chinese, But the mobileuncle app is kinda like rom manager, it lets you set up what happens at next boot so you don't need to read the chinese in recovery text mode.
The patched rom is working for me in English with root, no detectable problem except FC on google partners (and I can't tell if that actually does anything). Remember this is not a new rom, just a patch to the huawei rom that allows a root crack.
There are about 4 chinese apps that I am afraid to uninstall..
one appears to be a chinese app store too, kinda fun to browse
gapps must be flashed with mobileuncle recovery (don't just unzip them)
US google play store is working.
I am fully migrated to this phone now and use it for daily work.
Good luck, and remember that this is why you got an android instead of a i-Thing.

Thanks thanks again. I'll try it and don't worry this is not the first time to modify a mobile. If it is all ok i posted here.

Working u8812d
Ok... It was successfully working on my phone. I have root and change recovery and then installing gapps. Almost of the apps is working of the play store. Thanks again and hope there is a release of ICS or JB rom for our phones.
See ya!!!:good:

Thanks for the steps though the problems are still coming thick and fast, I have a new U8812D from China, no China unicom splashscreen but lots of 'bloatware' still. I've been trying for days to root this thing and nothing's working.
I'm pretty sure I need root access becasue the phone is currently preventing me from adding my Gmail account and using the google play market and apps, other bits and pieces like assigning incoming call number to a contact are supposedly fixed by getting the google thing right. The phone is good but I'm missing alot of functionality.
If the above description sounds like rooting is not the solution, please let me know and point me to the right forum, if rooting is the obviously the only way out, I'm hoping to clarify a few step in the above walkthrough to help me and others.
1. I cant install the mt6575 MediaTek drivers, installing directly gives error 'driver cannot be installed this way' there is no COM-LPT port in my device manager to attach it to as a manually locate driver, I can add a COM port with add remove hardware but I have Code 10 error, device cannot start and doesnt seem to accept the mt6575 driver as an update even when forced to it with locate new driver, apparently this is no problem from other forums, still bugging me. Maybe I havent the right files? how do i get COM-LPT ports to show up properly?
2. when 'install m6575 drivers ... reboot' is the phone plugged in? to what device do we install the drivers or should it be automatic?
3. launch flash tool, i have located two versions of the MT6575...emmc.txt file, one delivers error, block count fail and has no files paths for the item in the main table, the other refuses to open, giving error, incorrect scatter file format. The latter has considerably more data in it when read in notepad.
4. Becasue of these errors, SP flash tool does not download to phone. all subsequent steps fail.
Assuming the initial flashing steps are successful, I must to use SuperOneClick to root the phone, where do I find the extra exploits needed? or are tehy automoatically sourced by SOC? Succeeding the root access step, I assume i can freeze the apps causing problems to my google sign in or delete them. Or could I please be directed to the ATTPlain rom mentionned by JohnnyParanoia in 'Almost All Huawei Stock Roms (Firmware) - Updated 28/06/12' board.
Since so many of the resource files I've trawled through are bung, anyone who can point me to reliable/tested files known to work with the U8812d I'd greatly appreciate in on top of the great appreciation I already have for your patience with a Noob. I located the 14Mbit .rar file mentioned above but not all parts worked, had to dl the different programs individually and some files had to hunt down form fileshare sites.
Lastly, i am using an HP laptop, Windows 7 64-bit, Thanks in advance.

Asus The New PadFone Infinity (A86) aka PadFone Infinity 2 Thread

Hi,
Since I didn't find a thread for The New PadFone Infinity (A86) aka PadFone Infinity 2, decided to create this thread.
Hopefully this top device gets noticed by developers.

Any MOD for audio? Low handset speaker volume?
As you might noticed, the speaker volume (notifications, ringtones, etc.) of NPFI handset is pretty low even when all volume sliders are maxed out and audio wizard is set to "Music".
I have a rooted device and installed Alsa Mixer from Play Store and tweaked the parameter "RX7 Digital Volume" from within the app. Changed default value of 85 to 100 and was pleased to get a noticeably louder speaker volume. Problem is that the value resets almost instantly and volume level gets back to its default value. Probably because Alsa Mixer installs its own audio driver (alsa amixer) which uses a separate system for assigning values and there is a protection system in place by Asus I think.
I also played with parameters in files below (residing in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm) - tweaked the RX7, RX1, RX2, etc...
snd_soc_msm_Taiko
snd_soc_apq_Taiko_DB
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_CDP
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_Fluid
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_Liquid
saved and reboot, but it didn't make a difference. So anyone has any idea to share?
P. S. As far as I know the audio engine for NPFI is designed by Wave and is called MaxxAudio, Is it possible that it has something to do with that?

Thank you for making much needed forum.
Hopefully soon there will be gathered all the essentials.

hi there, thanks for the update :good:

Hmm nothing major...
I wonder why the New Padfone Infinity has to wait the longest to get the latest version of Android...

Kingoapp
Kingoapp worked ok for me for root.
I had to reboot phone and a PC after a driver install, but that's ok.
Is there a sub forum for PadFones? Would be nice to have a place for this stuff.
There are some other places for PFs.

The new update 10.12.3.130 has a bug. Apparently Asus is working to fix the bug. Don't panic. Hopefully a bug fix will be released soon.

Now I wonder how ASUS ZenFone 6 works...

Still waiting on that 130 fix... wondering if there just ignoring it and going to wait until ZenUI is ready

I must say I share your doubt. Possibly they are working on KitKat for NPFI, and ignoring the fix for now. Disappointing customer support management!

Its a shame that theres no developer support for the A86. Such a great device with no custom roms

KIT KAT Released for NPFI
Finally Asus released firmware update 11.2.5.12 for NPFI which updates its android version to 4.4.2
Download links are available at Support section of your device in Asus website.

Yes, I downloaded it and had mine updated, mine you all, 4.4.x has a known issue, that is all 3rd party apps cannot write to external SD, unless you root it and apply the fix, then either leave it as rooted or unroot it again.

Root 4.4.2 - Build: 11.2.5.26 (TW)
Hi
Just got one of these and it has recently updated from .20 to .26 and now I cant root it? Any ideas?
Is there a way of downgrading back to .20?
Thanks

Check out this thread. Has all info for rooting on all firmwares

Rooting Firmware 12.4.0.59 - Android 5.0.2 - A86
This post is copied from my own thread in padfoneclub.com so there is no case of stealing
If you want to copy this post on other forums please do not forget to give due credits to original poster.
Disclaimer! The procedure described below has the potential of rendering your phone useless if not followed properly. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHAT SO EVER, IF YOU BRICKED YOUR PHONE WHILE PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE. PROCEED AT OWN RISK!
This method is tested by downgrading firmware 12.4.0.59 to 11.2.5.26, which in turn needs a factory reset/ wipe data/ cache/ afterwards. Before anything else back up your important data (ie. contacts, messages, app data, etc) to some place safe outside your phone. ORIGINAL RECOVERY of your phone will be replaced by TWRP recovery
Preparation: (BEFORE ANYTHING REMOVE YOUR SIM CARD AND MICRO SD)
1. You must have USB debugging enabled, allow mock locations (developer options menu in settings)
2. You must have UNKNOWN SOURCES enabled (security menu in settings)
3. To be on the safe side I recommend you disable VERIFY APPS OVER USB, in developer options menu. You can re enable everything after the job is done.
4. You need to download firmware 11.2.5.26, and 12.4.0.59 according to your phone SKU and save it on your computer.
5. Download WINRAR or any archiving software which is able to modify zip files and install it on your computer.
6. Download unofficial TWRP ver 2.7.1.1 ONLY from this link, and save to your computer
7. Download BETA SUPER SU 2.49 from here, and save it to your computer.
8. If you are on firmware, 11.2.5.26, or 11.2.5.30 and rooted you are half way done, if not either you have to upgrade or downgrade depending on the firmware that now you are on. For example if you already upgraded to 12.4.0.59 you need to downgrade first and root, then proceed. There's a thread in padfoneclub which comprehensively discusses way to root Kit Kat firmware so I skip to just explaining downgrade procedure from 12.4.0.59.
9. To downgrade from 12.4.0.59 to 11.2.5.26, you do it in the usual way from recovery except you need to factory reset/wipe data/ wipe cache via recovery beforehand. REMEMBER TO REMOVE YOUR MICRO SD FIRST AND THEN WIPE OR YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA ON MICRO SD AS WELL! After wipe, reboot your phone and place the 11.2.5.26 zip in the root of your sd card by transferring downloaded zip from your PC.
10. Downgrade by choosing "apply update from sd card menu item" in recovery and selecting the zip file you just transferred to your phone. Remember to have at least 70% charge on your battery before downgrade or upgrade.
11. After the downgrade process completes your phone reboots, if it is stuck in ASUS logo for a long time (more than 10 min), switch off your phone by pressing and holding power button. Then reboot into recovery again do another factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache and reboot again. Now everything will be OK and your phone boots to initial KK setup. proceed until you are on the home screen. reboot your phone again.
12. make sure that items explained in step 1-3 are checked and unchecked accordingly.
13. Root your phone by your desired method.
NOW THE IMPORTANT STEPS TO UPGRADE TO A ROOTED ANDROID L 12.4.0.59
1. On your PC replace the "recovery.img" in the zip file for Firmware 12.4.0.59 with TWRP recovery that you just downloaded. Both have the same name and it is a simple case of drag and drop into zip file.
2. Now you have 3 important file:
- The modified 12.4.0.59
- The TWRP recovery you downloaded (recovery.img)
- The beta Super SU 2.49
Copy all 3 file to the root of your sd card in your phone.
3. Install "Terminal Emulator" from Play Store, open the terminal and give it root permissions if needed.
4. Type su
5. Then type
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery bs=4096; sync;
(you can copy paste to rule out any typing mistake)
6. After executing the command a number of bytes transfers and the results will display in terminal window. close the window and reboot into recovery as usual, except this time you have TWRP recovery instead of original Asus recovery.
7. Go to "Install" button and select the modified 12.4.0.59 from your sdcard, uncheck "zip file signature verification" then "add more zips" and select beta super su 2.49. zip as well, then swipe to confirm flash.
8. If everything goes according to plan your phone will be flashed with the new firmware and rooted at the same time.
9. Reboot and enjoy!
10. I tried this method on my phone and it all went smoothly, but in case you get errors, you have to figure it out yourself, I WONT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU! AGAIN BE CAUTIOUS, FOLLOW STEPS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND PROCEED AT OWN RISK.

Yes i thought about this, but how?? I think i need custom recovery for this, but can't install one. If there is other way of installing I will be happy. Thanks.

I don't know any other way to install gapp except using recovery.
Install recovery and find your phone gapp and flash using recovery

Hello guys, just wanted to let you know that after many hours of hard work I finally managed to get Google Play Services and root working. If anyone ever needs help with this particular model or any x86 based Android tablet/phone with unknown brand you can send me private message or answer in this thread. The problem with this type of devices is that no one makes custom recovery for them that's why I had to load a temporary one. Here is a link. By following the guide there you will get in recovery pretty much 99% of time. From there it's easy just flash SuperSU package and GApps. The best and only working x86 (Intel Processors) GApps with this version of CWM recovery are Franken GApps. You flash them and you are done. You now have working, licensed and usable tablet/phone! Screenshots below! :highfive:

need help plz...

Hey, I am sorry for the late response. I was away from XDA for a while.
1. To root I can't remember exactly, but there are a few ways I think. First, you can use Framaroot to root it or (recommended) you can directly push SuperSU package from the link I have given.
2. You download this GAPPS package. The download link is in the bottom of the post. You can also download a SuperSU package (ZIP) from here.
3. I see you have followed the instructions to some point. Here let me explain: First you connect your tablet with USB cable to the computer. Second you unzip the downloaded file and run the batch file. You then type "ACCEPT". Then you type "5" to run CWM recovery. Then you type "T4" to chose the forth option to load the recovery. This is basically a program that loads a recovery to your tablet without installing it. Your tablet should now reboot into CWM recovery. Be careful to not disconnect the tablet while you are performing operations since there is almost no way to recover from brick!
4. I guess you are at least a little familiar on how to work with recovery. In case you don't know: First - you very carefully navigate with the volume buttons up and down. You then go to install zip>from sd card>UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip. You then wait a second for the file to be flashed. You now have root. Second - you again navigate with volume buttons and go to install zip>from sd card>FrankenGApps-x86-20140826.zip. You again wait for a second. Now you will have successfully flashed GAPPS. You then very carefully navigate to reboot command and press the power button.
5. Tips:
- be very careful to not disconnect the tablet while flashing;
- backup any important information;
- ask me before you do anything which I have not described so you can be safe from bricking;

Good luck!

Hey, I am sorry for the late response. I was away from XDA for a while.
1. To root I can't remember exactly, but there are a few ways I think. First, you can use Framaroot to root it or (recommended) you can directly push SuperSU package from the link I have given.
2. You download this GAPPS package. The download link is in the bottom of the post. You can also download a SuperSU package (ZIP) from here.
3. I see you have followed the instructions to some point. Here let me explain: First you connect your tablet with USB cable to the computer. Second you unzip the downloaded file and run the batch file. You then type "ACCEPT". Then you type "5" to run CWM recovery. Then you type "T4" to chose the forth option to load the recovery. This is basically a program that loads a recovery to your tablet without installing it. Your tablet should now reboot into CWM recovery. Be careful to not disconnect the tablet while you are performing operations since there is almost no way to recover from brick!
4. I guess you are at least a little familiar on how to work with recovery. In case you don't know: First - you very carefully navigate with the volume buttons up and down. You then go to install zip>from sd card>UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip. You then wait a second for the file to be flashed. You now have root. Second - you again navigate with volume buttons and go to install zip>from sd card>FrankenGApps-x86-20140826.zip. You again wait for a second. Now you will have successfully flashed GAPPS. You then very carefully navigate to reboot command and press the power button.
5. Tips:
- be very careful to not disconnect the tablet while flashing;
- backup any important information;
- ask me before you do anything which I have not described so you can be safe from bricking;
*In case the recovery says something like "Not enough space to install zip" or something similar, please, write in this thread so I can help you.
Good luck!

Hello there,
Sorry for the off topic.
I also have the same tablet and I managed to do all the things listed above.
I was trying to update the Android on this thing by flashing a ROM of a very similar tablet (hardware-wise) and I semi bricked it but I managed to recover through the ECU shell(!). I have every partition in img using dd.
The thing is. Do you have any resources about a new ROM? I found the anzhen4_mrd7 source files on GitHub and I'm trying to build a CM build. Downloaded the source code etc.
If you want to collaborate send me a PM

Hello,
unfortunately I am not that good with Android. I don't know how to build ROMs etc., but I may learn one day. Sorry, but I can't help you.

[TUT][ROOT+CWM+GAPPS]InFocus M512 Root, CWM and GApps tutorial.

So there is a bargain chinese 4G phone called the 'InFocus M512'.
The problem with it is that it comes without Google Apps and also is not rooted (sometimes is). Also it does not have CWM Recovery.
So this quick tutorial shows you how to root, install CWM Recovery and install google apps on the M512.
I'm not responsible for any damage
Rooting:
Method 1
1.Go to settings>>Security>>Check Unknown Sources tap OK.
2.Download this file.
3.Install
4.Run and tap 'get root' or somthing like that.
5.Delete KingRoot and some chinese app, but DO NOT DELETE KingUser!
6.Done!
Method 2
Flash CWM Recovery using the 2nd method from this post. If you have rooted usign the first method use method 1 from that post.
Download UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip (i used 2.46)
Reboot into CWM.
Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip, press power button
Reboot now
GApps
1.Download this zip file
2.Reboot into CWM.
3.Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select the file, press power button
4.Reboot now.
How to delete KingUser (only if you have SuperSU and it is working)
Download ES File explorer, enable root explorer, go to /system/app and delete KingUser.
So this is how to get root, cwm and gapps on the m512.

First Method no good for me
I put the kingroot file in the adb tools folder and used the install command. It wasn't clear from the above whether the phone needed to be in recovery or some other mode so I tried a few times, in recovery mode and again just connected as an mtp device in the normal way. Either way the result was the same, it said "Invalid APK File: KingRoot.......".
I will have a go at the CWM thing next.
I am still on the 103A ROM that the phone came to me with - I have been trying, on and off, without success to update and then root it , for months.
When trying to flash an update ROM it tells me that the update package has unexpected contents and the there is an error in the update file and then says "Status 7". You can read all about my lack of success on this forum under the threads M512 started by Galaxy Why.

I'm trying, I really am....
Let me start by saying thanks for making the effort to post what you know and so to help people like me, however.
I tried to follow the method 2 (as I don't have root) from your other post (the one linked to above with the words "the 2nd method from this post" but got stuck.
Your instructions in normal my comments in italics.
Method 2: (No root)
1.Connect your phone via USB to your PC. OK
2.Enable MTP. OK
3.Enable USB Debugging. Settings>Developer Options> tick USB Debugging. OK
4.On your computer, 2 drives will appear: One of them is a CD-Rom which contains all drivers. OK
5.Click on that CD-Rom and it will install all drivers. It doesn't, or it may do, but what it definately does is asks me to put a disc in the drive and tries to do some kind of dir_all in windows explorer - I would post a screenshot here but this page only allows URL's- and I'm not sure how to go about that.. but I think I've managed to upload a screenshot....
After waiting for 5 minutes or so to see if something would happen as the green progress bar ground to a halt but the busy circle continued I hit the cancel button on the "please insert a disc dialogue" and then ploughed on anyway ....
6.Plug phone in again. Now this had me confused, I assume you mean unplug AND THEN plug the phone in again.
7.Download the .ZIP file and extract it somewhere. Which/what zip file do you mean exactly?? I couldn't get past this.
8.Click on _install_cwm_6.0.5.1.cmd
9.Your phone will ask you something, just tick "always allow from this computer" and hit OK.
10.Your phone will reboot into DL Mode, then it will reboot again.
11.Recovery is installed.
It's late and I'm tiring so sorry if missed something obvious. Any advice?

Looks like you don't have a adb driver
And... why do you want to root your phone? Installing CWM is not root required.
M512 comes with a unlocked bootloader, just boot into bootloader and you can flash anything you like.
I made a customized stock rom based on version 2280, bloatwares removed and Google Play framework included. (You can download the apps back from Play Store, if you needs those)
Now the phone has 2.09GB free spaces :victory:
If you were interested on it, I can upload it and give you a link.

The calendar is not working, you can install Google calendar from Play Store.

The problems i faced was so much critical and step by step i faced bugs and fixed them accordingly.

first of all reset your phone. thats because a frash phone is always perfect. btw non resetted phone also works here.
1) Now download the app in the link below called CROM_Service. open it and just wait it will unlock your bootloader.
2) Now u need drivers. download them also in the link and install on your windows 10 pc. Boot your phone in download mode by pressing home+volume down+power button. in chinese font screen press volume up and then connect you phone with pc using a fairly working usb 2.0 cable.
3) Now download CF_ROOT in the link below and and put in your worling folder better name that folder your phone name cause we always work in this folder. extract files in there. Now open Odin in that foler as admin and click AP and load the md5 file in same folder. and click start. this will flash root and restart device with a modified kernal.

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for my problem but I will give it a try. I have a problem with TWRP recovery on sm-a8000 Chinese version.
Every time I try to flash any zips it fails.
Error 70 failed to mount preload (invalid argument ) I can't do factory reset either in . I'm able to root the phone and the phone works normally except for the custom recovery.
I tried to do factory reset in original recovery and it worked.
My aim is to install Google play apps.
Here are some pictures of the recovery result. My internal memory is only 3Mb in the recovery but if I connect the phone to my computer it shows 10Gb free.
Any idea what's going on?

hey,did you hv any rom of that model (sm-A8000)?
